Hi
I live in Wales, UK and surf LLangennith on the Gower, rumoured to be one of the hardest paddles out on earth..
I surf all year round, water temp in summer 16degrees and 7degrees in winter. Would a 3D board be any good to me or shall I buy a PE.
Also so many different brands, which would be best for UK waters?
Thanks

Will the 3D work good in Bali (uluwatu/Padang-Padang) waters?

Or it is preferable to use PP, eventough it feels sometimes too light in heavier waves?

Hi I was wondering if a 3D would be better or PE for my water temps. I go in half moon bay California area at around 55 degree water.

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Sorry for the late reply, we just saw your comment.

The good board for you depends on your weight because a PE board will get flexy faster if you’re heavier or land big moves also. A 3D or PP board will last longer but they are less flexy and usually flex means control, specially in colder waters…

A 3D board might be a good alternative for you to have a bit of flex and a bit more of a lifespan for your board.

Cheers,
T.

Hi. I have a ryan hardy Vs and liked the flexibility in the beggining but after about a year it has gone very flexible. It has gotten so bad that i now need to get a new board. Espectailly on late take offs, and air drops. Love the weight + contole + speed of it but need somthing thats gna last. I live in Cape town and have cold water all the time. Any suggestions. Will this NMD BEN PLAYER 41.5 3D CORE Stringer Mesh do the trick.

HI, i´m a beginner and i´m interested to get a BB to begin making 360’s and off the lip tricks. Toobs Maligs board feel like to have a very very wide template, appropriate for these tricks; but maybe too wider to get velocity? perhaps this Ben Player is sufficiently wide for spinners?
Sorry for my poor english

thank you!!!!

3D core should work well in warmer waters and will still have a bit of flex yeah.
